That's quite an arsenal you have BMG....Obviously tried a few alternatives...

Each item has its place,

It took a while to find out what products i like.

seasurfer · Post by **seasurfer** » Sat 13 Jul, 2013 10:42

Yes and as i recall very very recently, in my hour of need you keep them to yourself

Thought of you recently Mr BMG. They are doing what they call "top dressing" to a lot of country roads/lanes around here at the moment which involves spreading chippings on liquid tar across the road. Chippings everywhere, you can here the "tapping" as you drive along. I'm not too fussy but even I avoid driving these routes at present in the Z3. Anybody with a car approaching concours standard would be in a right stress.

Now why dont i believe you

Del, he would do a freddy flintstone im sure

Tell your local councillor to have them swept up after the works are completed...

I'm going to have someone walk in front of the car with a broom.

It's aweful the chippings, and they don't sweep them up.

Thanks sir.

It's a hobby mate and I love it.

Not a chore but a therapeutic hobby.

Good luck with your new zed.

sinful nature BMG....

I don't mind washing the car but waxing I find tedious.

I have had the zed and the Gold Mustang coated with a Nano Seal, the Mussie hasn't been waxed since last September and appears to reject dirt

It can be hard work gaz.

But the results can be excellent.

Agree with Gary...waxing is a bore...easier to take it for a good exterior valet once a year...£30.00 includes claying, washing, waxing, buffing etc...and I get to do more inspiring stuff for a few hours...

washing and a polish hmmmmm, i'm driving in the z on sat from Glasgow for week down in the south coast, staying in Bournemouth before Silverstone so let's hope I can find a power wash in the area. don't think the good lady will want to get her hand's dirty detailing after a week driving around the south coast do you, iv'e that much polish on the car a quick wash should be enough let's hope

Badman gee · Post by **Badman gee** » Sun 14 Jul, 2013 17:31
